Hi everyone,
This one went quiet for a while but I have now received a Letter
of Claim from DCB legal solicitors.
Seems like the scammers haven’t given up yet!
Would appreciate any advice.
Many thanks!

Yes please. Here is what the letter said, If someone could draft
a reply I’d really appreciate it.
“We act for Met Parking Services Ltd and write in respect of an
unpaid parking charges). This is a formal Letter of Claim in
accordance with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims.
Basis of Claim
The vehicle with registration number XXXXX ("Vehicle") was
parked on private land ("Land") managed by our Client. The signs
displayed on the Land set out the Terms of parking (i.e. "the
Contract"). The Vehicle was parked in breach of the Terms and as
such the Contract was accepted and a Parking Charge(s) was
issued. You are liable as the Keeper or Driver. The details of
the Parking Charge(s) can be found in the schedule at the bottom
of this letter. Payment was due within 28 days of the Parking
Charges) being issued but remains outstanding.
The amount of the debt is £170.00, which includes the Parking
Charge(s) and debt recovery costs. If a claim is issued, further
costs will be sought, together with accruing interest at 8%
above base rate per annum pursuant to s69 of The County Courts
Act 1984.
Next Steps
Within 30 days of the date of this letter, you should either
make payment using one of the methods detailed overleaf or
complete the Reply Form and financial statement. Failure to do
so is likely to result in a claim being issued without further
notice. Please visit www.dcblegal.co.uk/response to complete and
submit the reply form and financial statement. You will also
find an additional information sheet summarising your rights and
responsibilities under the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims.
Your attention is drawn to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 and
the Court's power to impose sanctions if you fail to pay or
respond. Any such failure will be brought to the attention of
the Court when considering costs. Any non-compliance with the
Rules can increase liability for costs. The BPA Code of Practice
requires us to make the customer (driver/keeper) aware of the
implications of non-payment including, should the Court find
against them, the risk to their credit rating.
We suggest you deal with this as a matter of urgency to avoid a
claim being issued. You may wish to seek independent legal
advice from a Solicitor or other free money advice organisation.
If you would like a 'dispute resolution call' with our team, or
a paper copy of the information sheet, reply form or financial
statement, please call our office on 0203 434 0427.”

They basically weren’t interested and fobbed me off and said
that neither they, nor MET parking had done anything wrong.
Either they didn’t read the complaint properly or just couldn’t
be bothered to act on it. It seems like bit of a lost cause
complaining to them

If you can draft something up based on other similar cases we
can advise. A response to a Letter of Claim needn't be war and
peace, it's just setting out your position and the reasons you
dispute the alleged debt.
